Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 142

February 15, 2017, 01:34:48 AM 



Hi everyone else. You've survived Valentine's Day. And now we are half way through the month (well, actually MORE than halfway)---already!  Here are 10 more new additions. Most of these are holdovers from one of Rich's recent auctions (hence the MPB watermark on the photos). Come along for the ride and take a look or don't:


THE MAD EXECUTIONERS:

I've never seen this flick, but there wasn't much competition for it (maybe/probably it's a crappy movie?)  I went for it. Is the movie any good?





THE LIVING END:

"An irresponsible movie by Gregg Araki."  I've not seen this, but this director seems to be kind of a cult favorite. I DID see one of his films, THE DOOM GENERATION, and liked it a lot. Got this one cheap...why not? Turned out to be from my friend Scott's collection before I knew he was dead.




CRY OF THE BANSHEE:

Hooray! Another classic Vincent Price chiller poster. Not as nice as HAUNTED PALACE or HOUSE OF USHER, but...




AXE:

Here is another one I scored from our pal Rich during one of his auctions a few weeks back (Thanks Rich!). Also known as CALIFORNIA AXE MASSACRE (riffing another, more popular movie), this is strictly drive-in, B-movie  fodder. Couldn't pass it up.





LATITUDE ZERO:

I got a Thai version of this a while back. I've still never seen the movie. i do dig the power rays or whatever coming from their fingertips. Zowie! What's that all about? Could be a cheesy groovy movie. Cool poster.




AT THE EARTH'S CORE:

I actually saw this in the theaters as a kid back in the day, and even then it was ultra cheesy...but you couldn't look away. My eyes were glued to the screen. The poster art has always enchanted me too. I already have a copy, but why not another for a rainy day?





RAZORBACK:

I've been curious about this movie for years. I have the DVD---just have never seen it yet. The poster always seems to get snatched out from under me too. Why? I got me a copy---hope to see the film some day. Is it a GIANT pig in it or something? Yowza! This first appeared on my radar because it stars Gregory Harrison, star of TV's LOGAN'S RUN (which, if you'll remember was based off of the film of the same name -- which was the first poster I ever got!)




SECONDS:

I've long been curious about this Rock Hudson flick. I've never seen it, but doesn't aging Rock get somehow turned into a younger guy?  Hmm.





THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD and SPIDERMAN STRIKES BACK (British quad combo):

This was interesting (and inexpensive). I'm not sure what THIEF OF BAGHDAD is...never saw it...but the SPIDERMAN 2nd feature appears to be culled from the short-lived 70s TV series. That should/could be worth something to some fanbot somewhere maybe? I remeber the series--it was flawed and cheesy and no where near as fluid and "believable" as the newer movies are (I only saw the first newer movie--not a big fan of the super hero stuff).




HORROR HOTEL:

Here is my prize for this post. Oooooo how exciting. I've wanted a copy for a long, LONG time. Love the art...creepy fabulous.



That's it for now. Thanks for stopping over. March will be here before you know it...



CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #6

I wasn't planning on buying any more posters. On top of all of my other many health ailments, I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. That is effectively taking me out of the game permanently. However, I have a handful of posters I had purchased or had bids on (but didn't expect to win). These leftovers (and there are -- gasp! --15 of them!?!) I'm not planning on sharing on other poster websites as I usually do. They are just here to be complete. THE ANTICHRIST (Australian) : I love the EXORCIST ripoffs.  THE ANTICHRIST isn't one of the better ones--but, this is a poster I hadn't seen before...and it was cheap. CARNAL MADNESS: Never heard of this one--which is why I bought it. EVIL DEAD (2009 re-release) : Not that I needed this (I have the original one sheet already), I thought it would be fun to pick up this rerelease one sheet from Grindhouse Releaseing. MALIBU HORROR STORY: I had a couple of these already. However, both were damaged (one severely so). I c...
